Jumper dresses

Hi all!

I really want some nice jumper dresses but can't seem to find anything (probably because I am rubbish at knowing where to look!).

I want something just above the knee but I'm 5'11" with very long legs so things usually advertised as that often come up very short like a mini dress. Heavy/ warm material, not flimsy thin stuff (I get cold). I'm autistic so no scratchy wool etc, it must be soft fabric. But natural fabric ideally. No high/ roll necks etc as I can't stand the feeling of stuff around my neck. Need long sleeves obviously (hate being cold!!). Something reasonably fitted as I'm a size 10 and look like I'm wearing a bin bag in baggy stuff.

So not fussy at all then. 😳🤣

Budget not too limited, can pay £100+ for the right thing.

Any ideas, clever people??

Yes to Celtic & Co jumper dresses, very soft and 100% woollen. I’m planning to buy another one

@MistyRock Yes it is! Comes down to mid-thigh on me. Lovely and soft. Really pleased with it.

That's good news as I've ordered the charcoal one! I hope it fits me! I wrnt for the medium as I'm a large 14 and don't want it too slouchy.

I have the same sensory requirements for clothes and absolutely LOVE this Joanie dress:

So soft! Not scratchy! Great colour, feels fab on.

That is such a cute dress. I love the teal.

@MistyRock Hope you like it as much as I do. I'm also a 14 and went for a medium. I find it sound my hips better and is a bit roomy but prefer mine to fit that way.

That's good. I have slim legs, hips and bottom but a bit of a tummy and big boobs. Hopefully it will be fitted enough to be flattering and roomy enough to accommodate the boobs and tummy!
